Set up MYSQL

Under "Set up MYSQL" "Make additional security-related changes to mysql", there is a command to remove anonymous access:

mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user = ;

This returns a syntax error for me. However:

mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE user = ' ' ;

I believe those quotes should be there, and think the problem is caused when attempting to type the apostrophy directly into Moodle WYSIWYG editor, which translates into an empty space. If you use the double apostrophy directly in the MySQL commandline editor instead of leaving it blank, then it appears to work. I think this is the correct syntax.

How to get the Moodle code

How do you get the Moodle code into this solution? Do you manually ftp it into /var/www/html/ ?

And what about non-core Moodle plugins? How do you get them uploaded?

Moodledata

This article leaves out some critical components:

• Where do you create the Moodledata folder and how do you create it?
• How do you setup the caching layers for e.g. Redis?
